We have three shops here within 30kms of my place that stock American/English and N.Z sweets,confectionery and soft drinks. Dandelion & Burdock is the ducks guts IMO. L&P (N.Z) is very good too.
Never a fan of Dr Pepper but bought a slab of it for my nephew's birthday recently.
I just wish that Oak would bring back it's spearmint flavoured milk.
And that Kirk's fruita soft drink that I picked up when we were in Adelaide was available in N.S.W.

Problem with USA foods is just about everything I want is sold out.

If you where unfortunate enough to get them wrapped up in The Age, you'd spend the next 30 minutes trying to find the chips and a place big enough to put them.

Ah yes, Tarax, which was what my mum would make me drink (flat) when I got ill as a little nipper.

Also, the icy pole Lickety Split. Anyone remember those?

The sheets of licorice squares (about 2cm X 2cm), which I used to chew and spit out, pretending I was an American Cowbow! LOL!

Also loved the pop rocks.

Also loved chicadees, which I've seen around from time to time in various forms, but not like the ones from the 80's.

The Allens lollies in my parents take away shop (we had a lolly counter) were absolutely awesome. Aaah memories.

Those Mexican salt shaker stuff at Maccas.

Anyone remember the Mediterranean Baguette from Red Rooster?

I think they canned it about 3 years ago but OMG it was so bloody nice.

hmmm - not sure about that. When I worked at HJ's back in the 80's I remember we sold them at the same time. HJ's also did a fish burger called a whaler (not sure that name was a good idea?)

GI Lime Cordial - Thats been gone for a few years too - that was the best cordial flavour as a kid, now in my mid 20's I have to settle for normal lime cordial...

It was only avaiable in Charters Towers too, the stopped at every other Maccas a year or so before it went at the Maccas at Gatton. They dont offer it anymore, & I sent an email asking them if it would return & they said late last year. It's 2011, and it hasn't returned......

That was only a trial item. Wasn't available at all Maccas stores...

The caramel shake was chosen over the iced coffee shake - and that was launched in late 2010, ended march 2011.

Over the next few months Maccas will be rolling out new cold drinks, which will include a coffee flavoured chilled beverage which will be right up your alley so its back (kind of) in some form.

Also coming back are shaker fries for some time, mcfeast deluxes and new mcflurrys

250ml version I believe.

I got a couple of big Coke glasses from a RSL the other week. I'm a sucker for that stuff.

XRGhia · 01-08-2011, 01:20 AM

well for $1.50 a bottle, i'm not complaining (small corner shop)

This store is in Leura, so for those of you in Sydney, it's also a great opportunity to go for a drive, AND get lollies!!

I was going to say Spacefood sticks, but I have been informed that they are still available! WIN!

Deli Cups and the original Milo Bars were brilliant.
Smith Bega Cheese potato chips, Smokey bacon Thins, Moncheros as well...
Computer games with a storyline...

Both Big Heaven and Honeycomb (NOT Choc honeycomb) Big Ms.
Paddlepop Lion ice creams. Scribblers. Coffee Gaytimes.

I saw somebody say, "Chickadee". I do remember them. I used to hove into them back in the 80s...

I also miss Tangy Cheese Twisties.

Cheddar Pringles are also pretty damn similar to Cheez-Ums if not the same! I started the "Bring back Cheez-Ums Pringles" group on Facebook FYI...

I wish Cotton On sold nice, fairly plain polo shirts rather than ****** t-shirts with stupid patterns all over them...

Sega Game Gear...

Tomato Salsa Shapes!

I know its not a food as such but more a restaurant that served food. But I sorely miss the KFC and Pizza Hut dine in all you can eat Restaurants I remember pigging out bigtime at those places and used to love them. Sizzle just isnt the same

poptarts still exist! got a shop near me which sells about 20 different flavours

Psi-Pop · 01-08-2011, 08:45 PM

The joy of munching into a Poptart only to scald your mouth. Was I the only one who created a moderately warm outside with a magma centre?

Adamz Ghia · 01-08-2011, 10:30 PM

Samboy chips with the extra flavour sachet, trying to eat the extra salt and vinegar was murder on the mouth...

I remember going to Pizza Hut and paying $9 for all you can eat....

Jaw nearly cracked the tiles the other week when two meals at sizzlers came to $60+!
